(OPEN):
WITH "ELECTION DAY" ALMOST HERE, "A-A-R-P
MISSISSIPPI" IS REMINDING EVERYONE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
VOTING--THROUGH ITS "BE THE DIFFERENCE, VOTE"-CAMPAIGN.
KIMBERLY L- CAMPBELL, ESQUIRE, IS THE GROUP'S STATE-DIRECTOR...
(CAMPBELL):
"THIS YEAR'S ELECTIONS ARE SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT IN OUR
LIFETIMES--WITH SUCH ISSUES AS MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, PRESCRIPTION-DRUGS, FAMILY-CAREGIVING, AGE-DISCRIMINATION, AND MEDICAID ON THE LINE.
AND, OUR 'BE THE DIFFERENCE, VOTE'-CAMPAIGN AIMS TO TURN OUT THE LARGEST NUMBER OF OLDER
VOTERS--WHO COMPRISE AMERICA'S MOST-POWERFUL VOTING-BLOC. IN FACT, DURING THE 2014 MIDTERMS, CITIZENS OVER 45 YEARS-OF-AGE ACCOUNTED FOR ROUGHLY SEVEN-IN-10 OF ALL VOTERS.
THE GOAL HERE IS TO HOLD POLITICIANS ACCOUNTABLE--AND TO MAKE THEM PAY ATTENTION TO THE ISSUES THAT MATTER."
